Dear Valued Customer:

Peerless is conducting a voluntary program to repair certain of its 700 and 801 series restraints.

The 700 series restraints that are included in the repair program were manufactured from September 2005 to December 2005, and have the following serial numbers:

The 801 series restraints that are included in the repair program were manufactured from May 2005 to December 2005, and have the following serial numbers:

The Model Number and Serial Number are located near the key holes on the restraints.

Also included in the program are any restraints sent for lock-related repairs from May 2005 to December 2005

Only restraints with the serial numbers identified above or that were repaired from May 2005 to December 2005 may contain the potentially affected spring. Therefore, other restraints are excluded from the repair program.
